I searched for this, but couldn't find any threads on it....

Has anyone had their lumbar support bladder (on models with heated seats) blow out on them? My friend just bought a 6 after I bought my Shinka, and he told me about this recently. Apparently, his wife used the car and adjusted the lumber support almost all the way out. Since it's cold outside, they've been using the heated seats all the time. He got in the car put on the heated seats, adjusted the lumbar support all the way out, settled his butt in the seat and heard a loud BOOM!

I thought it was hilarious, but he warned me that it may happen in my car and I should test it so it gets fixed under warranty. They had to rebuild his whole seat back. Are the seats that similar that I should be worried? I haven't seen anything on this forum about it. I don't adjust the lumbar out very far, because then it feels like I'm being pushed out of the seat.

 

Wow, I guess this didn't happen to anyone then.

 

this would be creepy if it did happen. I've been using the lumbar support recently, guess I'll just make sure not to inflate it all the way

 

That thing pisses me off ...

 

It would be especially hilarious if the unsuspecting driver happened to take some Ex-Lax a few minutes before he got into the car.

 

^^ Just as long as I don't have to clean it up!
